I Decided to Rank Every Song Called "Thinking About You" For No Reason... PART 1!

This one might turn out to be a bad idea. I was stuck for song titles yesterday, but today I had a brainwave: what about "Thinking about You"? There's gotta be at least a few songs with that title! Maybe some remixes too, because it's kinda an obvious title.

How wrong I was.

This is coming at you as a two-parter because I have twenty-nine songs to get through. This list stretches from 1985 all the way to the 2nd of June this year so I hope you're ready for some serious genre shifting. As usual, rules apply: professionals, covers by professionals, and club/disco/electronic remixes only. Entrants will be in date order because that's fair or something, even if there's only a week or so in between some of these. Yeesh.

Oh, and I'm saving Sting and Radiohead for next week's list.

Rebel Movies

Whatever happened to rebel movies? Those films about railing against authority, championing any cause so long as it inconveniences "The Man"? I'm talking about movies like Rebel Without a Cause; did they just become unpopular somewhere down the line? Whatever the case, I had a spark of an idea last night; Jim Stark of Rebel Without a Cause and John Bender of The Breakfast Club are kinda similar characters, aren't they?

And then I watched the movies again today and I realised just how wrong I was.

I Decided to Rank Every Song Called "Somebody to Love" For No Reason

It's true, there really was no reason for it. But it's the end of June, so let's say... Brian May's birthday in 3 weeks? Yeah, that's the reason. Sure.

The E3 Breakdown

So E3 is upon us again this year, and this time I'm actually watching the conference live (via Nerdcubed). So I decided to give my take on the conferences and games that are being showcased this year. Without further ado, let us begin!

On Endings, and How Things Really End...

So this is something a little personal to me, in a way. For the past couple of years I've been struggling with anxiety and depression, fighting through the bad moments and worrying over the good, seeing various therapists and thinking I have my shit figured out, only to relapse and fall back into terrible habits and difficult times where I'm feeling exhausted and alone.

One of the things that really got me through those times was webcomics. And I want to talk about them today.
